Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electronically implemented gaming device and in particular to a computer implemented "Wheel of Fortune” game.
  • a wheel of fortune typically involves a disk or wheel rotatable in a vertical plane with a plurality of numbers, symbols or other indicia positioned on the face of the wheel near its perimeter.
  • a stationary pointer such as a flexible resilient flipper, is configured to point to an indicium when the wheel is stationary. In one use, players place wagers on which indicium the flipper will point to when the wheel comes to rest after having been manually spun.
  • a number of games incorporating a wheel of fortune have been devised, including a televised game titled "Wheel of Fortune” which combines a spin of a wheel of fortune with players' attempts to complete and/or guess at a hidden phrase by choosing, winning or buying letters of the alphabet which are revealed to the players if contained in the hidden phrase.
  • the present invention includes a recognition of problems found in previous devices.
  • One of the problems with a traditional wheel of fortune is that the number of possible indicia (and thus the maximum possible odds of winning) are limited by the physical size of the wheel.
  • the popularity of so-called progressive games demonstrates the attractiveness of this type of gaming environment.
  • the combination of small wagers and large prizes typically means that the odds of winning based on any one wager must be small, such as one in one million, more preferably one in five million, and even more preferably one in eight million or more.
  • Previous traditional wheel of fortune games are not capable of providing these types of odds.
  • an electronic wheel preferably a video image controlled by a computer
  • the ending configuration of the simulated wheel is a random event.
  • randomness in the simulated wheel is provided by a computer process such as a random number generator or pseudo-random number generator.
  • the simulated wheel just as with a traditional physical wheel, is provided with a plurality of indicia.
  • odds are determined by the number of integers in a first range of integers mapped to the indicia.
  • the number of integers in the first range may be different from the number of indicia on the simulated wheel. For example, in an evenly spaced physical wheel with 24 indicia, the odds of landing on any one indicium would be 1 in 24.
  • the odds of landing on any given indicium are determined by the size of the integer range mapped to the wheel and the number of integers mapped to any given indicium on the simulated wheel and thus may be different from 1 in 24.
  • the simulated wheel may be provided with m possible indicia by "swapping" new indicia onto the wheel during simulated spinning.
  • a physical wheel would require a corresponding virtual wheel in the computer memory of the machine.
  • the number of positions in the virtual wheel is equal to or exceeds the number of positions on the physical wheel.
  • the virtual positions are then mapped to the physical wheel positions permitting the odds of hitting a particular physical position to change without changing the size of or number of physical positions on the wheel.
  • the virtual wheel is analogous to the virtual reel invention for slot machine reels disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,448,419 to Telnaes and assigned to International Game Technology.
  • the use of the term simulated wheel or video screen wheel shall include physical wheels having corresponding virtual wheels in the computer memory of the device.
  • a wheel which provides the potential for winning a large or jackpot prize can only provide such a win if the player has previously achieved a predefined result on a previous spin of another wheel.
  • the previous wheel need not provide an opportunity for a jackpot win.
  • the odds of winning a grand prize or jackpot on the second wheel spin is the product of the odds of landing on a jackpot-indicating indicium on said second simulated wheel times the odds of obtaining the predefined result on the previous wheel, providing a hierarchy of wheels of fortune wherein the result from one wheel spin has an effect on the other wheel spin.
  • a game provides for two or more different wheel spins in order to win a grand prize, providing odds of winning the grand prize which is a product of odds on two or more different spins and thus diminishing the overall odds.
  • the present invention involves an electronically-implemented game method and apparatus, preferably a computer-implemented game. It is anticipated that a game according to the present invention will be played in a context in which monetary wagering is involved, typically in a casino or similarly regulated environment. As will be clear to those of skill in the art, the game can also be played in other environments such as personal computer (PC) game playing, video arcade environments, networked or other remote environments including Internet environments, local area networks, wide area networks and the like, and can involve either monetary wagering, wagering using physical or electronic tokens, credits and the like, or play without wagering such as for amusement purposes.
  • PC personal computer
  • the game is implemented on an electronic gaming terminal which includes a programmable controller or computer.
  • the computer may be coupled to various output devices preferably including a display screen for displaying aspects of the game as described more thoroughly below.
  • Other output devices may include audio outputs such as speakers, bells, whistles and the like, and signaling devices such as controllable lights and the like.
  • a number of types of input devices can be used by which the user can place wagers and/or play the game, including touch screen input devices, joysticks, mouse input devices, keyboards, buttons, levers and the like, as well as coin or currency acceptors and/or validators, card readers such as credit card readers, or other encoded-card readers.
  • gaming terminals may be provided with communication devices, e.g., for purposes for accounting, maintenance, management, security, controls, updating and the like. It is common in the gaming industry to provide for electronic gaming terminals and those with skill in the art will understand how to construct and program such gaming terminals to implement the game according to the present invention after reading and understanding the present description.
  • game play begins when the gaming terminal is configured to display a main screen 202 (Fig. 2).
  • the main screen may be provided with a number of displays such as a display of the denomination of the machine (i.e., the smallest coin that can be used to play a game on the gaming terminal) 204, the size of the grand prize or jackpot 206, an indication of the current status of the game 208, an indication of the number of bonus points (described below) 210, an indication of the user's current credits 212, the amount paid 214, and an indication of the current or most recent bet, such as the number of coins wagered 216.
  • bonus points do not have any monetary value but affect play of the game as described below.
  • a user may activate an input device, such as a first touch screen region 217 to obtain instructions on playing the game or other help.
  • the first portion of the game is not a simulated wheel spin game.
  • the first portion game is a combination electronic slot machine and puzzle completion game.
  • the puzzle is a word phrase; however, it could be a picture puzzle or any other type of piece by piece puzzle to be solved.
  • a first area 218 displays regions for each letter in the phrase. In the embodiment which is depicted in Fig. 2, some of the letters are revealed (namely, all of the Rs, Ns, Es and Ts) as a result of previous play (as described below) or possibly as an automatic starting point.
  • the category of the phrase is displayed 222.
  • a second portion of the screen 224 shows an area having some similarities to a typical electronic slot machine display, including simulated slot machine reels 226a, 226b, 226c and pay line indicators 228a, 228b, 228c, 228d, 228e.
  • Each simulated reel region displays various indicia, such as the types of fruit, bell, bar and number symbols commonly found in electronic slot machines.
  • indicia may be provided for use in determining whether the user may have a chance at a secondary screen video wheel spin, such as wheel indicia 236a, 236b.
  • each payline 228 Associated with each payline 228 is one of a plurality of letter indicia 232a, 232b, 232c, with a bonus value being associated with each of the letter indicia 234a, 234b, 234c.
  • a user may make a wager, e.g., by depositing a coin, currency, credit card, etc.
  • a minimum number of coins or other monetary units must be deposited in order to play the game as described below.
  • the user may wager up to a maximum number of coins at a time (MAX).
  • MAX maximum number of coins at a time
  • the player may deposit between 1 and 25 coins.
  • the slot machine portion of the screen 224 will display a simulated slot machine handle pull, i.e., the simulated reels 226a, 226b, 226c (along with reels 226d, 226e) will appear to spin 112.
  • the display 202 After showing a simulated slot machine reel spin, the display 202 will simulate the appearance of slot machine reels that have come to rest, preferably in randomly chosen positions. If, following the reel spin, the results of the slot machine region 224 show at least a predetermined number, such as 3, of wheel indicia 236a, 236b, the user will be provided with a chance to play a wheel of fortune portion of the game as described more thoroughly below.
  • the computer will determine 118 whether any of the letters 232 associated with such winning pay lines match any uncovered letters from the phrase 218. If there are any matches between such letters 232 and the phrase 218, all instances of that letter in the phrase are revealed in region 218.
  • the bonus value 210 is incremented 122 by a number equal to the product of the bonus points 234 associated with that letter 232 times the number of occurrences of that letter 232 in the phrase 218 times the number of coins bet 216 on the particular pay line.
  • the user may be permitted to place bets associated with different pay lines and in that case the product will be calculated on the basis of the wagers associated with the particular winning pay lines. If, as a result of the most recent slot machine spin, there are still uncovered letters remaining in the phrase 218, the process returns to the beginning of the procedure 112 and the user has an opportunity to place another wager and spin the slot machines wheels.
  • the display screen is controlled to display a bonus screen 302.
  • the bonus screen 302 permits the user to select from among various regions of the screen, each associated with a point value.
  • the regions are depicted as envelopes 304a - 304e, and the user is permitted to select (e.g., via a touch screen or other input device) a certain number of envelopes or regions with the points associated with these envelopes or regions being added to the user's credit value 212.
  • the number of envelopes or regions which the user can select depends upon how many points 210 the user had accumulated before reaching the bonus screen 302.
  • the user may select one letter if fewer than 2000 points have been accumulated, two letters for 2000 to 2999 points, three letters for 3000 to 3499 points, 4 letters for 3500 to 3599 points, and five letters for 3600 or more points. These point values may be altered and are set in accordance with the game design as determined by the game designer. Since the phrase 218 has been solved, the procedure returns to the beginning 112 so that the user can, if desired, begin a new game, with a new phrase 218. If the player, during the bonus screen 302, had more points than the minimum number of points needed for the envelopes that were selected, the excess points are used as a starting bonus value 210 for the next game or phrase 218. For example, if the player accumulated 2500 bonus points during the main game (Fig. 2), the player needed only 2000 points as the minimum necessary to select two envelopes. Thus, 500 points will be used as the starting bonus points towards the next phrase 210.
  • one or more results from the first, non-wheel game can be used as a "trigger" to permit the user to play a wheel game.
  • a predetermined number of special wheel symbols 236 must be displayed on the simulated slot machine region 224 in order to have a chance at the wheel game.
  • the non-wheel game (whether it is a slot machine/phrase game as depicted, or some other game such as poker, other card games, keno, other traditional casino games or a common amusement game), provides a bounded or predetermined probability of having a chance at the wheel game as described below.
  • the non-wheel game Fig. 2 is configured so that there is a 1:50 chance of reaching the point where a wheel game may be played.
  • the wheel screen Fig. 4 will be shown on the display device.
  • the user may be provided with an opportunity to spin two or more simulated wheels, preferably in a hierarchical fashion, i.e., such that at least a first predetermined result must be achieved on a first wheel in order for the user to be permitted to obtain a simulated spin of the next wheel.
  • first, second and third wheel indicia 402a, 402b, 402c can be highlighted or otherwise distinguished to show the user which wheel in the hierarchy is currently being played or spun.
  • a second portion of the screen 404 shows at least a portion of the simulated wheel which is indicated by the indicia 402, preferably in a magnified view as shown.
  • there are a plurality of flippers or pointers such as three flippers associated with letters or other indicia 406a, 406b, 406c.
  • the user is permitted to select (via an input device such as a touch screen) which of the flippers or pointers will be the pointer used to indicate the stop position indicium of the wheel.
  • the simulated wheel 408 is divided into a plurality of regions, preferably 24 evenly spaced regions. In the embodiment of Fig. 4, only 7 of the 24 regions are shown in the enlarged view at any one time.
  • the wheel 401a depicted on the screen 401 is a simulated wheel rather than a physical wheel
  • the simulated wheel 408 has certain characteristics in common with a real physical wheel of fortune.
  • the major similarities of importance are that a plurality of indicia are associated with the wheel, the stop indicium of the wheel is randomly or pseudo randomly determined and for each indicium there is a bounded or predetermined probability that that indicium will be pointed to by the selected flipper or other indicator when the simulated wheel spin is completed.
  • the probabilities for each of the indicia can be established independently of the number of or position of the indicia on the simulated wheel.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates one fashion in which this independence can be achieved.
  • a simulated wheel defines 24 regions 410a - 410x, each associated with an indicium 412a - 412x.
  • each of the 24 indicia 412a - 412x is associated with an integer 414 in the range 1 - 24.
  • associations between the integers 414 in the range of 1 - 24 and the indicia 412 are shown by arrows 416a - 416d.
  • 24 arrows would be used to show all of the associations, only four arrows are depicted in Fig. 5 for clarity.
  • the set of all such defined associations form a first mapping.
  • the mapping is stored in memory as an ordered list with 24 entries, each entry identifying one of the simulated wheel spaces 410.
  • a wheel spin is performed by selecting one of the numbers 414 in the range 1 - 24 preferably as described below, controlling the display 401 to simulate the appearance of the wheel 408 as it would appear if it were spinning and simulating the slowing down and stopping of the wheel so that the selected flipper 406 points to a region 410 bearing the indicium 412 which corresponds with the selected one of the integers 414.
  • mapping or association can be done in any of a number of fashions as long as for every integer in the second group 418 there is an associated integer in the first group 414 which is associated with an indicium of the wheel 412.
  • the depicted embodiment integer 21 in the first group 414 is associated with 422c, 422e, 422f, three integers (21, 25, 26) from the second group 418.
  • the computer can be programmed to randomly select an integer between 1 and 32 which is mapped onto one of the indicia 412g via the mapping 422 onto the integers 1 - 24.

  • the play of the embodiment incorporating physical wheels 602 is the same as described above with respect to the video wheels, with the only difference being that instead of bonus screens being displayed with the video wheels, play on the physical wheels is substituted when the required events occur. For example, when the user obtains the result 114, the wheel game is activated. The user is then entitled to a wheel spin on first wheel 602a. If a predetermined result is achieved on first wheel 602a upon completion of the spin, the user is entitled to a spin on second wheel 602b. Finally, if a predetermined result is achieved upon the completion of the spin of second wheel 602b, the user is entitled to a spin on third wheel 602c.
